Hmm, do megacorporations in the US contribute to disaster relief much? Like providing free cell data and donating food/money, that kind of thing. Just curious.

If you have ever thought that my journalism or my first book were net positives for the world, understand that they probably would not exist if I did not have a spouse who paid the mortgage. If I'd been a solo earner/parent, I likely would have left criticism, journalism or book writing long ago.
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.

The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.
almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Very good thread—how mixed, disjointed modalities used to be part of how to recognize unhinged communication. Now masked by the surface polish of genAI chatbots.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

you can't force people to invest in something if they don't want to. he's posturing like this is a public policy proposal when it's not.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I don’t actually have any use case for it.
“it can write your email in corporate language instead of being autistically honest and short and offending people all the time charlotte”
I’ll tell you a secret: I can already do that, my autistim doesn’t make me incapable of it, it just makes me hate it
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

We didn’t need a study or cis researchers to learn that; you could’ve just asked us. If trans people had the same resources as these researchers, we could have given you these results years ago.

i find it frustrating how in the dearth of cis people being normal about trans people, there's a whole cottage industry of "gender-affirming" or "trans-affirming" versions of pre-existing services where they upcharge on the promise that they definitely won't be weird (they will be definitely weird).

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.

If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

It's much simpler than that. The Boy Scouts aren't maximally cruel to trans kids and so Republicans believe it should be destroyed.

I feel like it is culturally important to note that I recently played an old episode of the Simpsons on Disney+ for some kids and then a random newer episode and the kids, unprompted, were like “how come this isn’t as funny?” so it’s not just nostalgia we are correct

I'm so sick of the way society keeps conspiring to make homeless people out of queer folks. It happened to me, it happened to a bunch of my friends on this webbed site. It's got to stop.

You cishet people, you talk a big game about being 'trans allies' and do fucking nothing about this.

digital compersion, but it’s watching two clout-drunk queer theory obsessed lesbians switch fight over esoteric discourse until they’ve clearly both either reached mutual climax and/or dialectical synthesis.
it’s nice to watch people having fun on the world wide web ☺️

I sort of intuitively slip into using "trans girls"/"trans women" to distinguish levels of transition experience. To me "Trans Women" are the ones who've had time to get a grip on things, while "Trans Girls" are the ones still posting "chat, am I faking it if I don't like musical theater?" on Reddit
